Boston-grown Nick Di Paolo eventually made his way to New York where he found his seething, sarcastic style was welcomed with open arms by New York audiences.

His range has allowed him to perform on shows as tame as “The Tonight Show”, yet as edgy as HBO’s “Young Comedians Special.” He was twice nominated for an Emmy for his writing on “The Chris Rock Show.”

Television appearances have also included three half hour stand up specials of his own on Comedy Central, a regular for two years on “Tough Crowd with Collin Quinn,” and the Comedy Central Roasts of Denis Leary, Jeff Foxworthy and Pamela Anderson. Other television appearances include “News Radio”, and “The Sopranos.”
